Assuming 4k blocks, 8388608 is 32G, which is the offset interval used
for some internal sections of directories on XFS. If this is a
directory, it could be a node/leaf or freelist block. Looking at
xfs_da_format.h, it looks like XFS_DIR2_LEAF_OFFSET points to this
offset. This block basically points to a btree of hashed entry names for
lookup. See here for basics:

http://xfs.org/docs/xfsdocs-xml-dev/XFS_Filesystem_Structure//tmp/en-US/html/Directories.html

... and here for a diagram:

The 0xFEBE magic seems to confirm the second one as a node block.
